Local Townships are having to pay for their own police patrols starting April 1st, instead of Hamilton County paying for it. This sounds like a conservative Republican's wet dream! Self-reliance! I am going to expect COAST or someone akin to propose hiring a private firm to conduct the police patrols of the townships. Then I would expect either a wall or fences surrounding the townships with razor wire and electrification to be erected. Maybe some search lights and tall guard towers?
What is the world coming too? Just last night I was in the exurbs getting gas on the way home from work and while pumping gas, I was approached by a person who happened to be on their way to Cleveland but just realized they lost their wallet at a restaurant a while ago and just happened to make it here to the gas station with their family and their bank account just happened to be closed and their spiel was way too rehearsed, not remotely honest enough to be believed. I mean this can't happen in the burbs, can it? Scammers? What is needed is RoboCop and we need it now or we are all going to constantly be harassed by con artists. Someone call Omni Consumer Products!
The comments on the Enquirer blog were supportive by a vast majority.
ReplyDeleteSurprised me.
But here is my thought, if the people in the townships don't want to pay for police protection who are we to force it on them?
